Instant Genius Podcast: How to spot a narcissist, with Dr Erica Hepper

Instant Genius is a bite-sized masterclass in podcast form. And in this episode, we’re exploring narcissism.

Be it in the office or at home, it’s likely there’s at least one narcissist in your life. But what exactly are the key traits of narcissism? Are narcissists necessarily bad people? And how can you tell if you’re one?

To answer these questions and much more, we’re joined by Dr Erica Hepper, lecturer in psychology at the University of Surrey. She also unpacks the key misconceptions about narcissism, its causes, and whether narcissists can ever change their behaviour.
